Altus has developed generationally proven investment strategies that have provided superior risk-adjusted returns, capital preservation, and growth, delivered with the highest level of integrity, communication and service.
  
We focus on value creating activities primarily through acquisition of assets that are in need of redevelopment, lease-up, or other repositioning that are preventing the asset from reaching its full potential.
  
In general, the fundamental principles to our investment strategy are:

	Co-investment – Altus believes that it is important to marry our interests with our investors to ensure proper stewardship of our investor’s capital.
	Market Evaluation – Altus is focused on ‘value add’ and ‘core plus’ industrial, office, and retail in secondary Midwestern markets like St. Louis and Minneapolis.   Altus believes it can continue to achieve superior risk adjusted returns because of its intimate knowledge of the sub-markets and tenant trends.
	Asset Selection - We target investments at prices below replacement cost, creating an immediate margin of safety for our investors.  We attempt to mitigate risk through meticulous due diligence, thorough financial modeling, and in-depth market research.
	Asset Management - We firmly believe the best way our investor objectives can be truly met is for ownership and management to be one and the same.   We maximize value through diligent oversight and strong internal controls, strategically managing each asset.  However, we are flexible in execution to enable tactical adjustments as circumstances unfold.
	Exit Analysis - We believe that profit comes from appreciation and value creation, but the timing of the liquidity event is important.
	Transparency – communicating regularly and being accessible to our investors is paramount
